The loadstone; a species of iron ore (the ferrosoferric or magnetic ore, Fe3O4) which has the property of attracting iron and some of its ores, and, when freely suspended, of pointing to the poles; called also natural magnet

a characteristic that provides pleasure and attracts; "flowers are an attractor for bees"

any substance which attracts another substance through space by means of a force field

Specifically, a body possessing the property of attracting to itself particles of iron More generally, a material capable of maintaining within and about itself a field of magnetic force

A bar or mass of steel or iron to which the peculiar properties of the loadstone have been imparted; called, in distinction from the loadstone, an artificial magnet

If you say that something is a magnet or is like a magnet, you mean that people are very attracted by it and want to go to it or look at it. Prospect Park, with its vast lake, is a magnet for all health freaks

A device that can attract or repel pieces of iron or other magnetic materials Speaker magnets provide a stationary magnetic field so that when the coil produces magnetic energy, it is either repelled or attracted by the stationary magnet

Powerful ceramic magnets provide the stationary field that causes the ferrite material to exhibit circulator properties Typically a pair of magnets is placed either side of the ferrite components

A piece of ferromagnetic material having a North Pole and South Pole, with magnetic flux emanating from the North Pole and terminating at the South Pole The elemental magnet is called a bar magnet

A device which has the ability to attract or repel pieces of iron or other magnetic material Speaker magnets provide a stationary magnetic field so that when the coil produces magnetic energy, it is either repelled or attracted by the stationary magnet 2

This attracts magnetic materials such as iron, steel, cobalt and nickel It attracts or repels other magnets

Any material that has a permanent magnetic field There are plastic magnets like refrigerator magnets, ceramic magnets (usually black), and rare earth magnets (which usually look like metal) Magnets have a north pole and a south pole The north pole of a magnet is the one that attracts the south compass pointer

A magnet is a piece of iron or other material which attracts iron towards it. a fridge magnet. Any material capable of attracting iron and producing a magnetic field outside itself. By the end of the 19th century, all known elements and many compounds had been tested for magnetism, and all were found to have some magnetic property. However, only three elements iron, nickel, and cobalt exhibit ferromagnetism. See also compass, electromagnet

{i} object which has the property of attracting iron or steel; electromagnet; person or thing which attracts

any piece of iron, steel, or iron ore that has the natural power to draw iron and steel to it

n a piece of metal or iron having the majority of its molecules aligned in the same direction, causing an attractive force, or a magnetic field, to occur

A body that attracts ferromagnetic materials Can be a Permanent magnet, Temporary Magnet, or Electromagnet

A school with a strong emphasis in a particular subject area, for example, music, science, drama, math, etc Students are selected through an application process instead of being assigned based on residence

A magnet school is a state-funded school, usually in a poor area, which is given extra resources in order to attract new pupils from other areas and help improve the school's performance. A public school offering a specialized curriculum, often with high academic standards, to a student body representing a cross section of the community. a school that has more classes in a particular subject than usual, and so attracts students from a wide area

 A school with special facilities or offering special courses that attract pupils from a wider geographical area that other schools in the district, eg in order to improve the schools social or racial balance

You use magnetic to describe something that is caused by or relates to the force of magnetism. The electrically charged gas particles are affected by magnetic forces. + magnetically mag·neti·cal·ly metal fragments held together magnetically

of attracting iron or steel; "the hard disk is covered with a thin coat of magnetic material" determined by earth's magnetic fields; "magnetic north"; "the needle of a magnetic compass points to the magnetic north pole" capable of being magnetized of or relating to or caused by magnetism; "magnetic forces

(scalar) potential --The magnetic force at a point in space is a *"vector" quantity, one which has both direction and strength To specify it, three numbers are required--for instance, one specifying its strength and two its direction However, the magnetic field near the surface of the Earth (and at any other location where electric currents are absent) is of a relatively simple kind, describable by a single varying quantity--an ordinary number or "scalar", as distinct from a vector A similar simplified representation exists for the force of gravity, even when its sources are complicated The magnetic scalar potential was introduced for describing the Earth's magnetic field by Gauss and is described in terms of "spherical harmonics " It is still being used

You use magnetic to describe tapes and other objects which have a coating of a magnetic substance and contain coded information that can be read by computers or other machines. her magnetic strip ID card

If you describe something as magnetic, you mean that it is very attractive to people because it has unusual, powerful, and exciting qualities. the magnetic effect of the prosperous German economy on would-be immigrants. adj. magnetic iron ore magnetic dipole magnetic field magnetic force magnetic permeability magnetic resonance magnetic resonance imaging nuclear magnetic resonance
